Women`s Participation will be Important for Influencing Climate Change (Opens New Window) (PDF, 2 pages, 220 kB)

Climate change is a very serious threat to sustainable development and will endanger the attainment of the UN Millennium Development Goals. Combating climate change is directly linked with poverty eradication. Therefore, it is very important to reach a comprehensive new agreement on climate change by the end of 2009.

Influencing climate change will require full commitment and action by both women and men.

Brochure tells about the Call for Action on Climate Change and Gender adopted by the International Colloquium on Women’s Leadership in Monrovia, Liberia, March 2009.
